N/A
Sell off. The summer has been a pretty benign period that may have lulled some investors into a false sense of security. We are heading into a tunnel and markets are readjusting. The sharp rebound we saw is stalling out. There is uncertainty of the length of fiscal stimulus. Investors are starting to take some money off the table. Canadian dividend stocks are outperforming month to date.
N/A
Infrastructure stocks. He's been focusing on the energy grid and renewable energy in terms of infrastructure. There is unprecedented fiscal stimulus coming into the economy and infrastructure stocks should profit from it.
BUY
The shares have come back and there are some segments of the business which is under-appreciated still. There are assets that have hidden value in the company that has surfaced in the past year. Their capital expenditure on fibre optic and wireless network are further advanced than its competitors.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
They are one of the most sophisticated private investors in the world. It is a little expensive right now. The dividend yield is around 4% which is better than bonds. You would want to look at it when the whole market shows weakness.
COMMENT
A company he has looked at but has not purchased. The packaging business for e-commerce is a good opportunity. The business is steady and they have raised yield but it isn't as good as some infrastructure stocks.
DON'T BUY

A value play within a value play, which is the financial sector. It has lagged significantly both YTD and in the recent recovery. You get life insurance, Great West Life, and asset management. The company isn't in danger but there are better opportunities elsewhere.

DON'T BUY
All the companies in the space are attractively valued right now, and he would prefer to look elsewhere for better opportunities. A potential takeover candidate. There are better companies with better risk to reward.
COMMENT
If there is a huge inflationary monetary stimulus policy, then gold becomes attractive. He is wary of a repeat of what happened in 2013 to now where the gold price collapsed and dividends were cut. However, it is the most liquid company in the space and he holds it for his clients.
HOLD
Below $40, it is an opportunity. The dividend should be safe, with the Line 3 project coming to term, bringing cashflow on a long term basis. Demand long term will probably trend down, but there won't be any new pipelines built. There is still a lot of value and cashflow to be produced.
COMMENT
He has considered switching his position to Telus. He still likes BCE. Performance over the last decade has been significant. Going forward, dividend growth will not be as strong although yield is higher than competitors.
COMMENT

It's hard to compare AQN to SU. He owns CNR and not SU. He is underweight in gas. He does own AQN as well as BIP. Energy pays a good dividend and in a low interest environment, they can do well.

HOLD
He's surprised it trades below $14. Their business is defensive and they have the highest backlog they have ever had. Investors are probably discounting the company for the concessions they have made. These assets are good long-term value providers but it is weighing on the stock price. They just need to continue to do what they are doing.
DON'T BUY
Consumer staple companies have also been lukewarm. They have grown through acquisition. If the yield goes up to 4-5%, he would be open to look at it more closely.
HOLD
It has been the poorest performer of the Canadian banks for some time. He believes there needs to be a management change. The yield is attractive. Banking will be a tough business going forward because of low interest rates. We shouldn't see mass default due to government aid. The dividend is safe.
